HEATING IN COLORADO. 



I wish to build a house 21x50 feet, 

 three feet and a half high at the sides 

 and ten feet to the ridge. I want to 

 heat it with hot water. How much 2- 

 ineh pipe would be required and how 

 would you arrange it? W. D. E. 



•The house in question, 21x50, will re- 

 quire fourteen 2-inch pipes the length 

 of the house. If the house is to be ar- 

 ranged for bottom heat, with three 

 benches, I would suggest that you ar- 

 range to use a flow and four returns 

 under each side bench and a flow and 

 three returns under the middle bench. 

 Connect the expansion tank to the main 

 return near the boiler and give it twelve 

 feet or more of elevation.

PIPING IN WASHINGTON STATE. 



Will you please advise me as to the 

 heating of my greenhouse? It runs east 

 and west, is 11x41 feet and eight feet 

 to the ridge. The walls are three feet 

 high, double boarded and filled with saw- 

 dust. The house will be used for bed- 

 ding stuff. The temperature here is sel- 

 dom very low, 15 degrees above zero 

 being considered cold. I have been plan- 

 ning to put in a Magee round heater. 

 What size of hot water heater would be 

 required, and what size and quantity of 

 pipe! W. W. Li. 



For a house of this ske I would sug- 

 gest the use of 2-inch pipe. Carry a 

 2-inch flow under the ridge to the far 

 end of the house, there divide and re- 

 , turn by four 2-inch radiating pipes un- 

 der each side bench, making nine 2-inch 

 pipes the length of the house. The 

 boiler should have a rated capacity of 

 750 feet. L. C. C. 



PIPING IN MISSOURL 



My greenhouse is 20x50 feet, twelve 

 feet to the ridge, and the sides are five 

 feet four inches high, including sixteen 

 inches of glass. There are also sixteen 

 inches of glass in the north end. The 

 house runs from north to south, and is 

 exposed on all sides, except at the south, 

 where the boiler-shed and work-room are 

 attached. I have a Wilks hot water 

 heater, 30x48 inches. It has two 3-inch 

 openings for flow pipes and three 3-inch

 may change some days as much as 50 

 degrees outdoors. Can the inside tem- 

 perature be regulated, with such a va- 

 riable outside temperature, by installing 

 stop valves to shut off or turn on tne 

 circulation of the water? I want an 

 inside temperature of 55 to 60 degrees. 

 I would prefer 2-inch pipes for returns 

 and will install stop valves and mani-

 gested. C. G. A.
